From 95% faster processes to an agentic AI system: SEAT's next step in body-in-white
After cutting time on individual engineering processes by over 95% with Synera, SEAT is applying the same agentic AI for engineering to its most business-critical question: whether a component can be manufactured, answered in thirty minutes instead of four weeks.
5 min from 2 hours
Proven in production: a body-in-white workflow, now more precise
1 hour from 42 hours
Proven in production: over 95% time saved on a body-in-white workflow
30 min from 4 weeks
The next step: feasibility assessment potential, agentic AI system
The Challenge
Manufacturability answered too late, after design locked
By the time simulation confirmed a component could not be manufactured, the design was locked and the cost of changing it had multiplied.
The Solution
Move manufacturability into the design stage
SEAT used the Synera platform to put specialist AI agents on the manufacturability question during design, so the answer arrives while the geometry can still change.

“We are breaking the ceiling. The reduction in time is important, but so is the precision and the quality in general.”
SEAT
Change needs drivers and SEAT S.A. is steering the future of mobility. As the only company in Spain that designs, develops, manufactures, and markets cars, SEAT S.A. is a cornerstone of the nation’s automotive industry and the driving force behind its electrification.
